Blinded by love: ch. 5

************

I woke from the sound of the door opening.

"Paige, honey you awake?"

"yes, what time is it?" I asked while sitting up.

"Ten" I felt the bed dip beneath her weight. "I was wondering if you were hungry. Can you join your father and I for breakfast? We barley see you anymore" she asked.

"Alright I'll be down in a bit"

"Okay, oh and we have a guest joining us, he'll be her for the summer." She said brushing the hair from my face which was probably a mess right now.

"What guest?"

"He's on of your fathers friends son. Were taking him in to do work around the house."

"oh, okay I'll be down in a few" I told her.

"Alright" I heard the soft shuffle of her feet as she left my room with a click from the door. I fell back on my pillow letting out a long sigh. Staying there for a while before getting out of bed. I walked over to my curtains feeling around for the opening. Once I did I threw them open inviting the warmth from the sun I knew was beyond the permanent darkness I was forced to live in. My hand felt around for the latch till I located it and opened the window. The crisp smell of the morning, fresh cut grass and roses filled my nostrils. Losing one sense causes you to appreciate all the others all the more.

The sound of panting caused me to turn from the window and walk back to my bed.

"Up Axe" I called patting the bed. Soon I felt a wet tounge licking my face. "Good boy" ruffled his hair then began to get ready for.

***********

When I made it down stairs with axe I welcome the delicious smells of breakfast. Bacon, toast, and cream of wheat surrounded me. I love breakfast!

"Paige!" My fathers booming joyfull voice filled my ears; then I was swept into a huge air lifting hug. His usual sent of cigars and his familar after shave waffered off him. I could always tell when ever he was in the room it was like his personal fingerprint.

"Hows my little girl this morning?" He asked putting me back on my feet and placing a kiss on my temple. Lifting my hand up to his face and smiled.

"Fine dad, whats for breakfast?" I asked even though I knew already. For a second I felt him tense underneath my hand but it was gone just as fast as I noticed. He took my hand from his face and lead me to a seat.
